No criterion in the table was found met in this decision.
What was missing
- Awards · No major internationally recognized award; workshop invitation is not an award or prize
- Leading or critical role · Position at Siemens as group member insufficient; plain language requires evidence of leading or critical role
- Original contributions · No patents submitted; lack of recent citations suggests publication record not indicative of sustained acclaim
- Published material · Magazine article predates filing and insufficient; no evidence of sustained acclaim to filing date
- Scholarly articles · Lack of recent citations and publication record do not indicate sustained acclaim through 1998 filing
- Final merits · Evidence shows talent as software engineer but not achievements significantly above almost all others in field
